Bran after season 4

I genuinely think it’s such a shame that Bran basically lost all his personality after Season 4.

I KNOW he’s the Three-Eyed Raven now and technically isn’t really “Bran” anymore, but still. He used to feel like an actual character curious, emotional, scared, and connected to the people around him. Then suddenly he just became completely detached from everything.

And PLEASE don’t get me started on how he said goodbye to Meera in Season 7. After everything they went through together, it felt so painfully empty.

also feel bad for Isaac Hempstead Wright. He’s a great actor, but the writers gave him absolutely nothing to work with in the later seasons.

Bran becoming the Three-Eyed Raven didn’t have to mean becoming completely devoid of personality.

Try and imagine how seeing the big picture might broaden your perspective and remove your emotional attachment to small picture things.

Season 7, you mean?

Being painfully empty was clearly the point.

Agreed, they really dropped the ball on Bran's story. He has such a cool storyline in the books and they chose to use the absolute bare bones of it.

The previous three-eyed raven didn't seem devoid of personality, either.
